Mr.. Church to Senator Scott.

PAREERsBuRn, W. Va, Jan. 20, 1887.
Hon. N. B. Scott, ,Charleston, ". Va. $50
My DEAR slR:-I am just in receipt Of
yours without date. The assurances 1t
gives are very gratifying. ! regret that
my business engagements OF the moment
prevent my responding in person. I will
endsavor however to give my views en-
the situation 30 that you may know that
Ientirely agree with you as to the posi-
ton Republican members OF the Legisla-
ture should take in this crisia. In fact
there Is but one position they can take If
matters should remain as they arc at
present, and that is to vote arst, last and
all the time for q Republican. In this
way we preserve our record clean, holding
our forces intact; and leave the Democrats
to fight thsir own BATTLE in their own
way. They being in the msjorityr are
responsible for the { consequences in
volved In the event no election Of Senator
takes place. A., I.t%s J =, ~ Il ~ :
We are making a record for the canvass
Of 1888. In that canvass there will be
two Issues. One, the labor question,
which involves protection as q principle; i;
and opposition to monopolies,-the occa-
sion for the latter being the methods OF
the Standard Oil Company. That gigantic
corporation, represented. by Senator Gam
den, has undertaken To control the policy
and politics OF this State.!!s Its plans must
be thwarted in their inception, or West
Nirginia'a prosperity will be extinguished.
Outside capital will not geek Investment
here when It becomes known tAat the
grip OF that monster Is fastened upon our
vitals. By the building Of railroads and
Other, appliances it hopes to reap q rich
harvest from cur natural resources; and by
the employment Of labor which will be
powerless In its hands, control the politics
Of this State for all hmo to come. The
election in Parkersburg and In the river
counties shows how easily the voice Of the
people can be sileuced when ita methods
are made to operate. y .r.I, b ..g
Both political parties are, therefore,
equally interested In the defeat Of Senator
Camden. In such a contest Republicaus
should Dismiss all personal considerations.

and unqualified support. For, as between

BosroN, Jan. 26.-The fish dealers Of
New England are delighted with the pas.
sage Of, the Edmunds resolution. They
say that II the Canadians are shu. out Il
will bring them 10 their sense and force
the Canadian Government to take of the
restrictions on American vessels. Mayor
O'Brien said: "The conduct Of the Cana
dian authorities, has been inhuman and
brutal: I'VE gain nothing from Canadians
In equivalent for what We give them. The
balance of trade is always In their favor,
and l am glad that Congress has walked up
and adopted the policy of retaliation. I
think that the provisions; Of the bill are
emniently just and right, 1..,s .as5
Leopold Morse said: Congress has
Just got'sick Of this sort Of thing, and is
going to show that what Is sauce for the
goose Is sauce. for the gander, and Of Gan.

There have been so many complaints and
transgressions and 80 much trouble that
y was about time TO cry halt, and the &C.

matters have come to crisis"

OTTAWA, ONT., Jan. .6.-Tho special
correspondent Of the Herald called upon
the Canadian Premier last night, and, this
Is what Sir John Macdonald said; ''I;feel
that the people Of the United States do
not fully comprehend our position here in
Canada," Sir John was found in the
Handsome library Of his residence, on the
ouakirts Of the newly i=hsdged city OF
Ottawa. He continued as follows:
"The news that the United States Sen,
ate passed the iEdmundB biflsprovidine
for so-called retaliation against Canada,
because the Fisheries Treaty had been
rigidly enforced, is no aurprise to me- l
have had reason to think the present
Congress would pass something OF the
kind. have had information to that ef.
lect. l regret very much that Congress
has gone go far. l feel confident that
there is some Misrepresentation In the

ed by the representatives OF Great Britain
and the United States in 1918. We con-
slider that we have, only acted as that
treaty concedes We may. The people Of
the United States ought to be willing to
allow US the treaty rights which their
own representatives granted. The Do.
minion Government has stood on the pro- +
yisions Of the treaty, and it. was endeavor-
ed to carry them out in harmony with
justness aud fairness. Canada had given
the American fishermen whole seasons
fishing during the summer and autumn OF
1885. The failure Of the American Senate
to appsint q Commissioner to consider
the fisheries threw the matter back on
our hands and We were compelled to pro-
tect our rights by the enforcement 1.-THE
laws which every. nation Exercises and
the right to which all nations concede.
The custom authorities were instructed to
enforce the laws, but to exercise care not
to employ. arbitrary ,measurea, :,and to
avoid. in all respects procedures which
would affect the strength Of our legal posi-
tion, as we'll az unduly annoy the citizens
Of q neighboring and friendly nation. I
willsay unhesitatingly that IT. has been
the endeavor Sof the Government OF
Canada to avoid sources Of friction In pro-
tecting our rights, and that the whole
matter has been one Of serious solicita.

otstes DelleVe tnat your Government has
enforced the customs and fishing laws as
strictly as possible with tho purpose of
endeavoring to iorcs the United States
into consentin9 to another commission and
consequent treaty like that Of Washing
ton." ~
I"This is a grave error. The Canadian
Government has. not attempted to coerce
tho United States;; On the contrary, does
1t not rather appear as II there were q sort
OF wolf and lamb spirit shown, with
Canada as the lamb? will be pleased' if
you will say that there is such spirit on
the part of the Canadian Government.
We would be very glad to have another
understanding in regard to the fisheries.
We are willing to have reciprocity treaty
re'enaoted In place. Of the former one,
which was cancelled, fear; because OF the
feeling against Great Britain arising out OF
the Alabama depredations. Canada will
enter into an agreement for q renewal. OF
the privilege Of fishing in our waters and
for American fishermen to obtain supplies,
bait and traesship fish. We have ssked
Tor Commission to consider the subject.

to consider the, questions involved Canada
has, to the best Of her ability, protected

what would be the effect on Canada OF
the Belmont bill prohibiting the import OF
all Canadian products and the passage of
railway cars into the United States ?"
Sir John placed his fingers together
pointing upward, aud after a moments
pause said, sottly: "That would indeed
be severe, very eevere. i cannot think
that Congress will proceed to such d
length"
"Will you state what course Canada will
adopt II the Belmont bill or tho Edmunds
bill is put in operation2" ..,..,ga as..i =.
